Before we even begin treatment, the Invisalign System allows us to digitally map and preview your new smile. This allows us to create a more precise, personalised treatment designed specifically for you- including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will take.
Once you begin your treatment, we will create your clear aligners made from our SmartTrack material which moves your teeth comfortably and efficiently whilst giving a more than 75% improvement in tooth movement predictability.
Depending on how much movement is needed and your particular requirements, you may be suitable to change your aligners every week. This means you could achieve your winning smile in as little as 3 months- that’s up to 50% faster than standard treatment.
Invisalign is as effective as traditional braces.
If you have crooked, misaligned, overcrowed teeth or have an under or over bite, you have the opportunity to get the smile you have always wanted minus the stigma that was often attached with wearing traditional braces.
Invisalign has been tried and tested and has decades of effective cases to back up their prominence in the world of orthodontics.
.
A real option to get that perfect smile minus the stigma often attached to wearing metal braces is Invisalign.
Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment system without metal brackets or wires. Since the aligners are clear they are virtually invisible. Most people won’t even know anyone you are wearing them, unless you tell them.
When wearing traditional wire braces there are many things that you can’t eat, such as popcorn, apples or even sweets.
There may also be issues with drinking coffee or eating curry, which can stain the bands making teeth look yellow.
Invisalign removes these restrictions because they are removable. Simply remove, eat and pop back in.
Depending on how much movement is needed and your particular requirements, the best outcomes are achieved when you wear the Invisalign aligners for around 22 hours per day.
Aligners are changed every few weeks and in some cases each week. This means we may be able to achieve the perfect smile in as little as 3 months - that’s up to 50% faster than standard treatment!
No dealing with brackets and wires, and no worrying about the monthly “tightening” appointments.
At Gentle Gentle we offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. We are holding an Invisalign Opening day on Wednesday 26th September and this package will include a free consultation, digital scan, retainers, tooth whitening and tooth contouring all for free.
If you have any question regarding payments ask our team about credit card payments, bank drafts and other payment options.
One of the major reasons why people choose Invisalign over the traditional methods is because the retainers are practically!
Being able to remove them at any moment is another bonus. This allows you to feel in control, not worry about eating or treatment being noticed.
You can also wear Invisalign aligners when participating in sporting activities.
But did you know it can give your teeth more protection?
Using Invisalign as a protection for the teeth when doing sports such as rugby, biking or football gives that added layer of security.
The retainer also helps your teeth from grinding while you sleep.
Removable aligners means brushing and flossing is easy. Giving you no excuse to maintain a proper oral hygiene routine.
Teeth that are cooked or over crowed are harder to clean so straightening with Invisalign will make it easier for you to have clean teeth!
Don’t worry about the gum and mouth irritation other teeth-straightening methods can cause! Invisalign is more comfortable because of the clear plastic aligners.
Invisalign aligners are shaped perfectly match your teeth.
There will be no sharp brackets or wires.
Your Gentle Dental dentist will talk you through all the procedures available to help you decide which is best for you and your specific circumstances.
A good bite can stop the jaw clicking, pain in joints around the mouth and will improve chewing. We are also here to help improve your oral health as well as a beautiful smile.
Drag the slider to the left in each type of bite to see how Invisalign can treat each problem.
Once we have confirmed that you are eligible for treatment, we will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth. These records will be used to create a ClinCheck 3D treatment plan, just for you.
After being custom-made and shipped to our practice, we will send you a series of aligners which you will wear every day.
You can change these by yourself at home every week.
We will let you know how often you will need to visit us but it will be roughly around every 6-8 weeks. At these visits we will monitor progress and will give you your new aligners.
After finishing your treatment plan, we will make custom fit retainers which you will need to wear regularly to keep your new smile straight.
When it comes to considering your options for a smile makeover, it’s easy to see Invisalign’s clear advantages which provide another reason to smile.
Compare Invisalign to other teeth straightening options below.
| INVISALIGN | FIXED BRACES | |
|---|---|---|
| How does it work? | Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without wires or brackets. | Fixed braces use wires and brackets to move your teeth into straighter alignment. |
| Nearly invisible |  |
No. Most fixed braces are noticeable. |
| Removable during treatment | |
No. You cannot remove fixed braces until treatment is completed. |
| Treatment doesn’t involve metal that can irritate teeth and gums | |
No. The metal wires and brackets used can cause mouth irritation. |
| Allows you to brush and floss normally during treatment. | |
No. Fixed metal braces hinder the ability to reach the entire tooth/gum area when flossing. |
| Provides a clear defined and virtual treatment plan from the start to the completion of treatment. | |
Although your dental practitioner has a clear defined treatment plan, you will not be able to see what your teeth may look like during and after treatment. |
By using a series of progressive, yet gentle, clear removable aligners, Invisalign slowly realigns and straightens your teeth without ugly wires and/or brackets. The nearly invisible aligners are also removable so you can eat in comfort and brush and floss normally. Your dentist will give you a clearly defined virtual treatment plan that will outline what you can expect- from start to finish!
The cost, like any orthodontic treatment, can vary depending on the complexity of your individual needs. However, as a general rule the price for adults is comparable to traditional braces but can be much less depending on requirements. Your dentist will take the time to discuss the best, and most affordable treatment for you.
When most people think of teeth straightening they conjure up an image of the old, painful metal braces. But times have certainly changed!
Invisalign is perfect for most everyone and it fits seamlessly into even the busiest of routines- without fuss or embarrassment. Because there are no metal wires or brackets you don’t have to worry about cuts or abrasions and you can take them out easily for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. In fact, you can take them out at any time you might feel necessary.
